Sections 14, 15 and 16: audit committee, internal audit function and conduct of the insurer towards the auditor – NAIC Annual Financial Reporting Model Regulation (Model Audit Rule, MDL-205)

NAIC Annual Financial Reporting Model Regulation (Model Audit Rule, MDL-205) mdl205-s15-internal-audit: Insurers above five hundred million dollars of premium, or in groups above one billion, maintain an independent internal audit function reporting to the audit committee at least annually

What does mdl205-s15-internal-audit require?

Unless the insurer writes under five hundred million dollars a year of direct premium plus premium assumed from non-affiliates (counting international business, leaving out federal crop and flood reinsurance) and, if in a group, the group has under one billion dollars, the insurer or group must set up an internal audit function giving the audit committee and management independent, objective, reasonable assurance over governance, risk management and controls, by auditing, reviewing and testing so as to safeguard assets, judge whether controls work and are efficient, and check compliance with policies and rules. The function must be independent within the organisation: the final call on audit matters is its own, and its head can go straight to the board without restriction. The head reports to the audit committee regularly, at least once a year, on the audit plan, on anything threatening the function's independence or effectiveness, on material findings and the adequacy of management's corrective actions. The requirement may be met at the ultimate parent, an intermediate holding company or the legal entity level.
